Kronplatz is retiring its long-running K1+2 gondola lift after this winter season, with construction of a brand-new replacement system starting immediately. The new lift has been designed in collaboration with Italian automotive firm Pininfarina, with cabin interiors featuring South Tyrolean loden fabric and a gold and bronze station aesthetic. It's a significant upgrade for one of the Dolomites' most-used mountain connections.
taly's competition authority is investigating Dolomiti Superski over alleged price fixing across its 12-resort network. The consortium has proposed a €30 million compensation plan covering three seasons - but consumer groups are calling it symbolic, warning that a first-come, first-served portal will leave many eligible skiers empty-handed.
A brand new Doppelmayr cable car has opened at the Latemar Dolomites ski area in Italy's Val di Fiemme region, replacing a chairlift that had been running since 1988. The €15.5 million upgrade carries 2,700 people per hour and marks 50 years of cross-border ski cooperation in the region.
The Sella Ronda is one of those things every skier heading to the Dolomites gets told they absolutely have to do.

Here's what it's actually like when you're not a seasoned alpine veteran and you're just trying to keep up with the signs.

A snowing first day in Val Gardena wasn't exactly the Dolomites debut I'd planned, but fresh snow across the Sellaronda terrain and a cross-resort explore from Selva to Corvara made for a solid introduction to one of the Alps' most expansive ski areas.
The Dolomites have added another tri-cable gondola to their lift infrastructure, with Campitello di Fassa's new 3S installation to Col Rodella opening December 19th. The 2,200 people-per-hour system replaces older infrastructure on this key Sellaronda access point, though whether the Italian resort needed Italy's 'most modern ropeway' for what's essentially a commuter lift is another question.
A 15-metre crack has appeared near the construction site of the controversial Apollino-Socrepes gondola in Cortina, Italy, raising serious concerns about the project's viability and safety ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The historic Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano, Italy, is set to reopen as an Aman resort on 24 July. The renovated property features new dining options, an Aman Spa, and expanded amenities, all while preserving its alpine charm.
